Meanwhile, with the younger consumer increasingly obvious feature, the B-Class is replacing C-Class luxury car market growth to become a major force support.
The new 3 Series to accelerate the amount of walking

This is not only the key to the growth of BMW in the Chinese market, but also its lead an important driving force for the global luxury car market. "The new BMW 3 Series become growth opportunities." Said BMW dealers said.
However, this year the BMW 3 Series encounter "growth challenge": on the one hand, a marked decline in the luxury car market growth, while negative growth in the car market, which led to overall market pressure increases, lower car prices system; on the other hand, in the main competing products the Mercedes-Benz C-Class value products rise, sales increased significantly, while the Audi A4L in the life cycle of the "last year," the leader by a substantial amount of markdowns, therefore, the 3 Series competitor suffered a "siege."

This year, Mercedes-Benz in the individual market segments force the most obvious. And SUV market is still in a different overall layout of the next downside background car market, Mercedes-Benz will undoubtedly come from the growth of the share of other brand models of preemption.
